Had Mal been on the ship, Wash would have been forced to ignore the distress beacon, but he was only going at 35 clicks, which might as well have been entirely stationary, and he had his dinosaurs out. What else was there to do when Mal, Jayne, and his wife were out shooting people and getting money they would only lose?

Duo blinked at the crack in the glass of the shuttle window. Had it spoken?

"....God?" he asked.

"Oh, man," Duo sighed. "You're assuming I've got any kinda accurate idea of how long I've been floating around out here. Um," he said, thinking, hard.

"...I got no clue. I think the support in my suit's been on for like....two hours? Or....five? So...I mean, but the ship's busted. Oh, man, I totally broke my ship..."
